“It cannot be conducted unilaterally”
Except when it comes to paying the bill. In that case we welcome Americas unilateral action in this arena.
They fear they will need to pay up—or invest in their own army and navy. The USA is limited today—We are not the powerhouse that won WW II. We need to fall back and re-group. That doesn’t mean we can not be partners with them—and help them—BUT it must be equal.
Our “allies” expect us to sign up for shared responsibilities and obligations with the expectation that the Ameican taxpayer will be enslaved to pay for it all by ourselves! Some friends.
Sorry euro-leeches, the American public is just not that into you anymore. For politeness sake I would like to say that it’s a problem with us and not you but, it’s you.
